Investment Q&A

Q: Thoughts on this ETF, how is the income treated in a non registered account.

Q: FNV, my largest precious metals holding, has a growing number of 'Hold' ratings by analysts. I also hold smaller positions in Agnico and Alamos. Would trimming FNV and adding another quality gold stock with more total upside make sense? If so, what stocks might you recommend?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I hold 2 out of 3 of your favourite Gold stocks. (AEM&FNV.) Didn't pull the trigger on WPM your other favourite Gold stock, on a timely fashion,

My question is this: Would you buy WPM now OR would you buy a mid cap/Junior Golds at this stage. What are your favourites in Mid/Junior tier Golds? (Similar to AEM/FNV/WPM)
The plan is hold these stocks till the deficit mess is at least partially controlled in the US. Judging by your various answers, you are still comfortable with Gold 5-10%. Hence this question.

Many thanks in advance.

Q: What is the best company to benefit from higher copper prices long term? Currently own Teck but increasingly frustrated with frequent downward production revisions.

Thank you.

Q: CCO is currently at its high. Do you think it still has room to grow?

Q: As a follow up to Connie’s question this morning on cyclical holdings. I find myself with the same risk tolerance and time horizon as specified in the question.

I am extremely underweight the sector, if I am correct In assuming that cyclicals are comprised of materials and energy.

In accordance with your advice, I would like to increase my exposure to these sectors. Ideally 5 positions with 2% weightings, each. What are your highest conviction names currently? I already have a 2% holding in AEM.

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter…According to the Globe the US Treasury will borrow 1Trillion in the 3rd Quarter. Sounds like Trump has given up lifting the governments couch’s seat cushions to fund the deficit. I doubt the Federal Reserve will be able to do much to solve this problem. Seems to be good for gold miners even though they all took it on the chin today. Do you agree?

Q: Potash is a commodity, this is one of the stock i came across, is this a good buy? Thoughts?

Q: Hi there, your thoughts on WGX results please?

What are insiders and institutions doing so far this year B/S/H?

Continue to Hold WGX, or are there better opportunities for a small cap gold company?

Thanks!

Q: with the tariffs coming up shortly on copper do you suggest i reduce my position on capstone copper.

I have done quite well in this stock and currently have a 5% position in my portfolio.

Thanks for your opinion

Q: What are your thoughts? I got it from Fission. Thinking of selling. Do you think it has much upside? Thanks.

Q: ARA is approaching $400M in market cap and recently has been rapidly increasing in share price - I would be interested in hearing your take on the company, especially given by the lack of news that might account for the recent price action. Thanks for all that you do, John

Q: I've asked a few questions on GDXY before but I'm still trying to get my head around the reasons for the fluctuations in yield . As I understand it they invest in the Van Eck gold miners index writing covered calls .... Nothing particularly spooky there. There are other covered call ETF's that invest in gold mines . But none of them have a yield anywhere near what GDXY does..... So I would like an explanation of why ? Two months ago the dividend that went into my account was 59% { calculated annually " } . Last month it was 68% { calculated annually } . This morning it was 26.9% { calculated annually } ...... That's a considerable difference from the previous two months . And looking at both the VIX { for volatility in option pricing } and a graph of gold prices doesn't account for it ..... Please explain just exactly how this fund works ? .....And why the considerable drop ? ...... Also please confirm my calculation of this month's yield ? ..... { If my financial institution screwed up the amount that should have gone into my account I want to know about it } .....Thanks again for your terrific service .....

Q: Could you please provide an update on Teck. Copper is at a very high price while this company seems to be struggling. If the outlook is questionable do you have another recommendation in the sector?

Thanks for such a great service.

Dave.

Q: What is your opinion of this company. Is it a buy?

Q: Good morning,

I am underweight gold at the moment, and know that this needs to change for a whole host of reasons, particularly heading into what traditionally has been a volatile time of year. The problem is that when I look at price charts for both AEM and FNV I struggle to add at these lofty levels. Do you think initiating a 1-2% weight in total split evenly between these 2 names would be prudent in light of ongoing and expected future market volatility?

Thanks as always.
